Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 29, Day 3: Tuesday, 18th July 2023. TOPIC : SENSITIVITY IN FAMINE 3: Famine And Relocation.

“1. And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

2. And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

We’ve established the fact that, famine doesn’t signifies being forsaken by God. It’s natural for famine to come upon a nation and individuals which we will deal with during this topic. But when Famine arises, we said we need the voice of God to know what to do. When famine set in, many relocate from their residence, leave their marriages, their jobs even the country, thinking that will bring an end to famine. Relocation can’t end famine when God is not involved. 

When their was famine in the land of Gerar, God visited Isaac in the dream, told him, you don’t need to relocate like your father did, just stay here and I will bless you and make you great. Not all famine need relocation. All you need is God’s instructions on what to do. God will always guide His children who ask for direction. When Jezebel threatening Elijah, without seeking for God’s instruction, he began to run to no specific location until God came asking, 

1 Kings 19:9 

“9…., behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said unto him, WHAT DOEST THOU HERE, ELIJAH?

Meaning, what are you doing here? Why did you left your rightful position? You don’t need to run for famine, all you need do is to ask him for direction. God is asking many of us this morning, “WHAT DOEST THOU HERE?” It’s time to return to Him for direction and stop running without a location.

Good Day and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
